Upcoming Courses & Training

Pathway to LIFE; a new framework for our courses & training.

Jesus came that we may have life & have it in the full. In Jesus the path of life is made known & in His presence can be found fullness of joy. However, in many of our lives we miss out on the fullness that Jesus offers us & silently wonder why this is the case.
Pathway to LIFE is about helping disciples to head in the right direction as followers of Jesus. It is designed to practically equip us for the journey wherever we are in our relationship with Jesus (maybe you’re still asking questions?). What we recognise is that we never stop learning as we seek to follow Jesus as His disciple.
Pathway to LIFE is about making disciples who make disciples that live & love like Jesus for the glory of God & the extension of His Kingdom.

If you are new to Deep Creek you might be interested in the following courses we invite the wider community to. Upcoming dates and courses can be found above. Some training will only be listed on the calendar which can be found at this link.

Alpha Course

Alpha provides an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed setting with up to seven thought-provoking weekly sessions that cover various aspects of the Christian faith.

Over 13 million people worldwide have now attended an Alpha course.

A typical Alpha evening involves sharing a meal with your Alpha group and watching a video on a range of topics such as Who Is Jesus? Why did Jesus die? How can I have faith? and How Does God Guide Us? This is followed by a chance to ask your own questions and to listen to the thoughts and questions of others. You can bring any questions to the group. Contact the office if you’re interested.

The Marriage Course

At Deep Creek we believe that marriage matters, that being in a great marriage is fantastic, and that marriage takes real work to create a place of joy. So we run regular courses for any married or engaged couple who wants to build strong foundations for a healthy marriage that will last a lifetime. Why not take the time to invest in your existing, or upcoming, marriage?

The Marriage Course is for married couples and involves DVD-based talks, time for you to talk together, and tasty suppers. Each couple’s privacy is respected as there is no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about their relationship to anyone else. The course costs $80 per couple (covers two manuals and suppers) and includes topics such as good sex, the art of communication and resolving conflict. Check out our Calendar for more details and to register.

Toolbox Parenting Groups

With the right tools anyone can be a great parent! If you’re looking for practical parenting strategies, inspiration, and encouragement, you’re sure to be interested in a Toolbox Parenting Group. Toolbox parenting groups are a unique and fresh approach to parent education. In an informal and relaxed environment you’ll be equipped with practical skills and strategies that can be immediately put to use.

The groups run for six weeks and costs $70 for a single ($50 concession) or $110 for a couple. Each year we aim to run a course once for each of the following groups: The Early Years (0-6 Years), The Middle Years (6-12 Years) and Tween and Teens (12+ Years).
